Abstract
El color de la piel clasifica jerárquica y discriminatoriamente a individuos y grupos sociales. La categoría raza, supuestamente en desuso, continúa hoy en día legitimándose por medio de prejuicios. Persiste una violencia racial simbólica y física dirigida a uniformar y asignar una pertenencia étnica a individuos y comunidades, así como la tendencia a homogeneizar obviando la historia ancestral con la que los grupos se identifican. En busca de constatar la realidad visible y no visible, la fotografía pasa a ser el soporte, y el álbum de familia, un documento de identidad que se renueva cada vez que alguien lo mira. El culto a las y los ancestros del pueblo garífuna ¿indios caribes negros¿ es el ojo a través del cual se ven diversas realidades y filosofías de vida, como fuerza vital y huella del paso del tiempo que da voz a otras maneras de concebir y abrazar conocimientos, universos de sentido y mundos de creación.

Violence persists symbolic and physical race aimed at uniforming and assigning a membership ethnicity to individuals and communities, as well as the tendency to homogenize, obviating the ancestral history with which the groups identify themselves. In search of verifying the visible and not visible reality, the photograph passes to be the support, and the family album an identity document that it is renewed every time someone looks at it. The cult of the ancestors of the Garífuna People, Indigenous - Black Caribs, is the eye through which you see different realities and philosophies of life, as vital force and trace of the passage of time that gives voice to other ways of conceiving and embracing knowledge, universes of meaning and worlds of creation.
